CONTROL TEXT OBSERVATION:
Emotions influence action by assigning significance to events. Anger functions as a mobilization mechanism that transforms perceived violations, threats, injustices, or frustrations into energy for response. By directing attention toward sources of opposition or harm, anger increases motivation to confront, resist, challenge, correct, punish, or transform conditions viewed as unacceptable.
